The cost of living isn’t the only thing going up and up in the UK.
Dying is getting more expensive, too.
Over the last 16 years, the average cost of a funeral has increased by 130%, according to a report by SunLife, a UK-based financial services company.
In 2004, a typical funeral would set you back around £1,920 (€2,170). By 2019, this figure had soared to £4,417 (€5,000).
However, funeral costs can vary drastically depending on location, type and director.
London, the priciest part of Britain, is unsurprisingly the most expensive place to die. Here funeral costs are around £5,283 (€5,975) – a whopping £2000 (€2,260) more than in Northern Ireland.
